Hi, I've tried many things posted here, nothing works. I installed a rom and it took 5 hours , tried different: cables, odin version, USB ports, stock roms. I installed via odin the param file, the wipe file and nothing. I can only enter Download mode, if a try to go to recovery it just shows a black screen but the minitoolkit recognizes it. So, is it a hardware problem? I've searched everywhere to know if the 5 hours installation is something common but I must be alone here :crying: any help would be very appreciated, thanks

Here is my problem detailed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2410342

If I put the PIT file with the ROM it says there is no PIT file, otherwise no problem at all... just the 5 hour wait

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Sahri:
Definitely a thread to remember once I've finished reading everything I need to know about flashing custom ROMs on my phone. But does 'stock' mean I won't get Samsung's bloatware along with it? That's the main reason for me to want to flash a custom ROM my Samsung Galaxy S3 mini but I'm still fairly clueless about all of this.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] efaustino84:
stock means it is based off of the original ROM that comes from Sammy

each custom ROM that is based on stock has what a developer believes is how the stock ROM for the S3 mini should have been bundled

this might mean removing some bloatware

or this might mean adding additional feature

take some time to read through the various sections of forums do a few searches to help you find what you are looking for

Counter problem

Hi guys,

I'm not new to doing anything with odin and galaxy s2, s3 phones. But.. I'll be selling my friend's Galaxy S3 MINI, but he rooted his phone and wants to get the warranty back.. So I came on the scene I did everything what was in this topic http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2150822 . With Triangle away, everything worked just fine, but with the stock_recovery.tar.md5 I have some troubles. I flashed it via Odin, but the custom binary counter jumped on +1 again, but in the topic he said, that it shouldn't raise the counter...

I reset the counter via Triangle away again and wanted to flash in the firmware from this site: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2159660

Then I flashed the stock rom from this thread, but the counter just raised up to +2 after that.

Hey Galaxy Nexus community!

So, I'm looking forward to buy a new phone and G Nexus is the first one on my list due to price range. Do you guys think it's worthy to buy? I own a Xperia Play and I want to buy other phone because I rarely use the gamepad (and it makes the phone too thick and heavy) and I want a device that runs Jellybean smoothly.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fairct:
Well... it depends on what you're looking for. Development device and a nice phone? I love my toro for that. Camera leaves something to be desired. Are you steering away from the Nexus 4 due to price constraints? I don't personally own one, but newer has to be better, right? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Newer is usually better.....USUALLY....the nexus 4 is a good phone but doesn't have LTE .....doesn't work with Verizon....and only has a maximum of 13GB of usable storage....as for the op.....I would wait a couple months if you have an upgrade as MWC and Google I/O are right around the corner....if money is a concern and you don't have an upgrade grab a galaxy nexus....it still got 4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2 and 4.2.2 before any other phones except the other nexus devices....and they're pretty cheap right now....as the person above me mentioned the camera is lacking a bit behind but it hasn't hindered my year with the device at all....good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiagoSequeira:
I'm looking for a fast, beautiful, practical and durable phone that has active development, the camera is not something I'm really happy with on the Galaxy Nexus but I can live with it.

I would rather have a Nexus 4 but it's not easy to get one in my country and the price is a problem :\

Can you tell me how the screen brightness performs outdoors?

Thanks for the answer

The galaxy nexus will most probably be my choice since it's a good upgrade from my phone and it fits my wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neerajvd:
Congratulations. you have made a fantastic choice. :D

I have mentioned this before, but the only issue i face with my Nexus is the camera quality and low sound output of speakers.

Since camera is not a concern for you, and sound can be improved using different mods, the GNex will be a great choice.

The screen on this device is brilliant. Although i have a matte finish screen guard, i am able to see very clearly in almost any light scenario.

And all the other points: Budget, active development, point to the GNex. :)

Do let us know once you make a decision.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klavier90:
Hi guys!

I rooted my phone and got cyanogenmod jb. I found that my phone's screenlight turns off during talking but after that it doesn't turn back on.

So I try to solve the problem, and I found this

"I did some more research on this issue and it seems that (for some people) even flashing a new firmware/ROM did not solve the problem.

The reason for this problem is most probably some corrupted sensor calibration data files. So the solution is to recalibrate the sensors.

There are two requirements

1) You will need ADB (Android Debug Bridge), you can download it from Google

2) You will need to root your phone (using Super One Click or ChainFire root)

once ADB installed and you have a rooted phone, you can try re-calibration as follows:

adb.exe shell

su

# /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

If you get errors on your phone like "msmachdep_Init failed" and "calibration utilities failed", then you need to delete the file “ms3c_yamaha.cfg“ in data/system. This file resides in your phone so you will need a Root Explorer App to explore the root areas and delete this system file.

I am sure this will solve your problem."

Unfortunately I can't use adb and terminal.

Could you help me what I should do, and how I can do it?

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Rezound] mobilephonemechanix:
Hello all. I'm new to the site and hope someone can give me some direction or thoughts on what my phone has going on. I bought a Rezound that will not boot, it comes up with a rainbow striped screen and then "ANDROID" then if it makes it to start screen it has an error that locks the phone up. "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." It has a Force Close button but by this time the phone is frozen and does not respond except to a battery pull. I can get it into hboot but thats it. Restore does not work either.

[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
did you update to an ICS rom and this started to happen?
[HTC Rezound] mobilephonemechanix:
Unfortunately I do not know what the history of the phone is. All I know is that when I got the phone it was doing as I descibed above. I do cell phone repairs for a living but I am not software savvy. I was hoping by the phones stats that someon might be able to pin point what happened and direct me to a fix.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
ah, ok. so we should start from scratch then.

best way to get this up and running again is to flash the latest RUU.

please have a full battery

http://androidrevolutions.com/neo/GlobalRuuPH98IMG.zip

rename the file to PH98IMG.zip

place on the root of an sd card

boot into hboot by holding volume down and power.

let this run first update will be fast and act like it reboots. let it do its thing. it will put you into fastboot. click the option to go into hboot and it will run again

this time it will take forever.

once it updates, you will have a bone stock phone. from there you can flash a recovery of your choice then flash a rom of your choice.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Wow. I've not seen a dev/debug s off rez in a LONG time. Do the RUU then flash a patched 2.25 hboot. From there factory reset in bootloader. Confirm boot and make sure you get at least boot animation. After that head back into hboot, flash a custom recovery and reflash the rom.

[HTC Rezound] mobilephonemechanix:
Thanks for the advice. I will give that a shot. Now I am new to all this so excuse the question but when you say to place on the root of an sd card, you mean the sd card that goes in the phone? If so how to i get the file to the sd card from a PC? Sorry:confused:
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Card reader or if you have a custom recovery already boot into it by going through bootloader then mount USB mass storage in there.

[HTC Rezound] mobilephonemechanix:
Thanks! Last question before I head off to try this. If I do the update with the RUU and it succeeds and i am left with the bone stock phone will I have to flash a recovery and flash a rom for it to work? Or can I stop after the RUU?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
when you flash the ruu it turns the phone back to stock right out of the box. if you like it that way, you can keep it.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
No you will be left with an s off rezound that's on OTA firmware and rom unrooted. To avoid confusion, reply when you get everything set up after running the RUU.

How can I tell if the RUU was loaded correctly?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] mschweini:
Hi!

I have great respect for the people that give us our great ROMs, and i KNOW that that is hard - but my question is: why exactly is it that hard?

This is just a question out of curiosity, because I would really like to understand the unerlying problems that cause all the other issues.

I was under the impression that the Android stack runs on top of the Linux kernel.

Usually, the Linux kernel is the Hardware Abstraction Layer, and apps and ROM, in theory, should be kind of hardware agnostic?

e.g. the Bluetooth Issue on our Captivate Glides: I would guess that Android communicates, through some API, with the kernel's BT stack/driver. There must be some (open or closed source) driver available (worst case: some .so module ripped out of an official ROM, maybe?). So why does the headset profile not work? Did the APIs change? Are custom ROMs forced to use another version of the driver?

It also happens to this 50$ chinese tablet i have here: some ROM screw up the touchscreen, some break audio, and so forth. Why can't there be some way of installing a generic ROM, and then side-loading the OEM's drivers?

Thank you again to all ROM developers! This is NO WAY a complaint. Just pure curiosity!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
I may be out of my league when trying to describe this, but the processor in our phones is somewhat different to the processor in the bulk of other phones. This is where majority of the issues came from in porting ICS to the glide before ATT released it. Even after the first official ICS update, the modders here were the ones who fixed the keyboard lights... I changed up to JB because the GPS wasn't locking quick enough and PACROM had all the quick toggles and the speed/gps lock I needed.

Sure the kernel is the underlying part that pulls it all together, even still there is all the drivers that need to work with it. If there isn't a bluetooth/wifi/HW Video driver for the version of the kernel, then it gets really tricky and now its coding for a piece of software to speak with the hardware ..... We have things that partially work, but not fully ...as with everything computers, in theory things that "should" work, don't always... I'm an IT tech.. I run into weird **** all the time that "should" work ... takes time, but with persistence and the right skillset, majority of the time a resolution can always be found.

Hello guys .. i have samsung galaxy nexus . Stock handset. Never been rooted

I want to root my nexus for first time so i have some confusions in my mind which i want to clarify so that rooting goes smooth

.

Question : rooting erased all the prvious data and apps. I have heard there are some apps which bakup the game and software as well as the other mobile content. Please suggest Some good backup app

Question: i have 4.1.1 currently on device. Does it mean after root only 4.1.1 roms will work on my handset
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neerajvd:
Welcome to the Nexus club ;)

Here are the answers to your question;

Data Wipe:

Rooting erases all the previous data and apps? NO. The process of rooting only provides you with root access. (But dont be so happy yet :o)

As I see, you have a stock Nexus. So before Rooting, you have to do a process called Unlocking. And Unlocking wipes EVERYTHING.

Once rooted and unlocked, when you flash switch ROM's you have to do a clean flash. This removes Apps. But preserves app data and sdcard contents.

Backup:

For backup of data, I'd recommend go for individual apps. The below are my personal favorites for backups:

For app backup, use ES File explorer (It only backs up free app, and no data backup)

For SMS and log backup, use SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu

Contacts and calendar and mails will anyways be synced with google account.

Do all the backups and copy these contents to your PC and then proceed with the Unlocking and Rooting.

Once Rooted, you can use Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox for data and app backup.

Android Version

i have 4.1.1 currently on device. Does it mean after root only 4.1.1 roms will work on my handset. NO

When I bought my GNex, i was on 4.1.1 too. Currently I am on 4,2.2 ROM's :)

Hope this helps.

All the best.
